I Don't Like My Common Name

Thank you for your kind words!

The energy represented by the number 1 is a self-determined energy. It tends to work best alone or at least in an environment where it can make independent decisions without needing to defend or justify them to someone else.

The energy represented by the number 4 seems to be more aligned with what you describe as characteristics. The energy generally has good judgement, is focused on building something for the future, is pragmatic, and tends to persist with a goal, methodically pursuing it until it is accomplished.

The heart's desire number of your current name is the number 5, which is likely to bring a desire to try new things and experiences, to wander along side paths because they look interesting.

The number 4 energy is the antithesis of the number 5 energy. It may help you keep extraneous excursions to a minimum.

Birth name energy remains with a person even with name changes. It tends to gradually become less powerful as the person more and more identifies their new name as who they are. However strong it is or is not, its resonance does remain.

A pen name identical to the author's everyday name can be useful for potential buyers to identify who wrote the book. Another thing to consider is a pen name that resonates with the subject of the book (or a dissonant name if the book is about differences).

Your life path number is the number 7. The energy it represents resonates with mystery and problem solving and arriving at correct conclusions.
